Chicago Ranked Behind Cleveland As One Of This Offseason's Most Desirable Coaching Gigs.
"It's already written pretty much everywhere besides an actual pink slip, Chicago Bears head coach John Fox is out of a job when the season is over. Despite the Bears win against Cincinnati and the team still having a chance to finish 7-9, Fox's tenure with the Bears is likely over. Pretty much just like every year, they'll be multiple head coaching gigs available during the offseason. ESPN's Bill Barnwell decided to take a look at ten potential openings and ranked them all in terms of desirability. While Chicago ranked ahead of the New York Giants and Denver Broncos, it took a bit of a slap in the face by Barnwell being ranked behind the forever rebuilding Cleveland Browns. Here's an excerpt of his explanation. "If you want your Rams analogue for this upcoming offseason, it's lurking in the Midway. The Bears have their own struggling rookie quarterback in Mitchell Trubisky. He has actually played better than Goff did last season, but teams around the league were more confident about Goff than they were about the Bears' 2017 first-round selection.Get Trubisky going and this roster suddenly looks appetizing. The defense has quietly leaped above league average for the first time since 2012, per DVOA, although it has been masked by the league's second-toughest slate of opposing offensive attacks. The Bears have an impressive offensive line when everyone is healthy, one of the best one-two running back duos in football, and should have $65 million to spend this offseason after cutting Mike Glennon."Barnell also mentioned he doesn't trust general manager Ryan Pace and that Pace has repeatedly made some weird free agent decisions. Do you think the Browns gig would be more desirable than coaching the Bears?
